Others are still struggling, but I am just slacking off.

When the four people from the Qian family arrived at the city gate, the others were already waiting.

As I approached, I heard Shui Lingling asking.

"Brother Fang, why haven't the brother and sister come yet?"

"It's almost done." Fang Hao was very patient.

"Brother Fang, what does Hualing Sect look like?"

“You’ll know when you go there”

Seeing that everyone was present, Fang Hao nodded.

"Okay! Everyone is here, let's get ready to go now"

He raised his hand and waved, and the second-level spirit boat stopped in front of him.

"Wait, Brother Fang, what's going on with these kids? Are they brought here to act?"

Huang Yue looked at the five children beside Fang Hao with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm here to act."

Fang Hao was very cooperative and acted as if whatever you said was what he meant.

"You! You! You! Fang Hao! You are playing tricks on me!"

Huang Yue was tricked, but Senior Brother Fang didn't even scream, and he was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down.

"Okay, let's go back to the sect first."

Fang Hao didn't want to waste any more time, so he stepped onto the second-level spirit boat and said, "Follow me!"

Three fellow apprentices followed, and five children walked at the end.

The Qian brothers and sisters kept looking at their parents reluctantly.

Qian Shanfeng and Wang Biwan's eyes were moist.

The two children have never left them since they were young.

Qian Shanfeng twitched his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just looked at her deeply.

Wang Biwan couldn't control her tears anymore and they fell down.

Fang Hao starts the Spirit Boat

"Fang Hao, stop right there!"

"Junior Brother Huang, don't be in a hurry, take your time!"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Yi laughed the most exaggeratedly, and the others shook their heads and laughed along.

Huang Yue finally reacted and hurriedly called out to his teammates: "Let's go, let's go too, hurry up, get up here!"

"Fang Hao, just wait for me!" Huang Yue gritted his teeth and said harshly.

Huang Yue's roar could be heard from ten meters away.

It was also this roar that diluted the thoughts of separation of the Qian brothers and sisters.

"Junior Brother Huang, I'll be waiting for you at the sect!"

Fang Hao said with a smile and waved to Huang Yue.

In just half a quarter of an hour, the group arrived at the giant square.

The spirit boat stopped in the square, and Fang Hao was the first to get off the spirit boat.

Qian Yushui raised his head and looked around.

The square is about 5,000 square meters and is located on the hillside. The mountain in front looks like it was cut in half by someone.

There is nothing on the east, west and south sides of the square, only the north side is a mountain, and a ten-meter-wide stone staircase is built in the middle of the mountain.

On both sides of the stone steps are houses with white walls and black tiles. The houses are extremely simple.

At the end of the road, you can see white walls, black tiles, pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner.

The horse-head walls are made of blue bricks and small tiles, and the corridors with shrubs are hidden in the embroidered pavilion.

"Xiao 8, isn't this the appearance of Hui-style architecture? Blue bricks, small tiles, horse-head walls, corridors with lattice windows, I like this place"

[Yes, it is somewhat similar to the overall Hui-style architecture, with black, white and grey as the main colors, but the details are still different]

Xiao 8 was helpless. Ever since Ah Shui had read all kinds of books about the flower-growing family, he had been full of curiosity about the flower-growing family.

Everything can be connected to the country of flowers.

"Rest for the night and gather at the intersection ahead at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow."

Fang Hao raised his hand to the side, and a errand disciple stepped forward, bowed to Fang Hao and said, "Brother Fang."

"Take the five of them down and settle them down." He turned around and reminded the five children, "Don't forget to gather at noon tomorrow and try to walk all the stone stairs."

"Yes"

Shui Lingling is always so full of energy.

Fang Hao flew away on his sword.

"Wow! Senior Brother Fang is so fast, I lost sight of him in the blink of an eye"

Shui Lingling was full of envy: "I wish I could be as good as you in the future"

"Dear fellow students, please come this way."

The servant disciple brought five people to the front of the house and said: "You can choose any room in this courtyard to rest."

After saying this, he ignored the five people's hesitant expressions and retreated.

When the five people saw that the man left directly, they wanted to ask him, but it was illegal.

“I choose this one!”

Shui Lingling ran over like a bird, opened the door, put down her bag, and did it all in one go.

"Shui'er, please live next to me."

Qian Yuting took Qian Yushui to randomly choose two rooms, pushed the door open, observed carefully, there was nothing special, and went to Qian Yushui's room next door.

He walked to the door and knocked.

"Water"

"Brother, come in"

Qian Yushui opened the door from the inside, walked to the table first, turned over the teacup, picked up the kettle, and poured two cups of water.

Qian Yuting closed the door, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Someone must clean the room every day. It's quite clean." Qian Yushui was very satisfied with the room.

"Well, Shui'er, I think climbing the stone steps tomorrow should be a big test. We don't have to perform too well, but we can't perform too badly either! There should be some mystery behind walking up these stone steps."

"Okay, brother." Qian Yushui nodded obediently.

"Okay, then you should go to bed early."

Qian Yuting stood up and walked out.

"Brother, go to bed early too."

Qian Yushui stood up to see him off and closed the door.

He walked straight to the bed and lay down on it.

"Xiao 8, I'm so tired. Now we are entering the sect. There should be a lot of good things. Let's see if there are any good things within meters that can be copied."

When Xiao 8 is upgraded to level , the replication range is upgraded from the original one meter to fifty meters.

The next level can detect up to 100 meters, don’t underestimate 50 meters, no contact required.

As long as the item is within fifty meters around Qianyu Water, it can be copied, even if it is in someone else's storage ring.

[Nothing good here. Maybe this place is not the real Hualing Sect. There are only some disciples doing menial tasks here, not even a manager.]

"Okay, then you should just copy the middle-grade spirit stone."

[Okay, Ah Shui, go to bed early]

The only response to Xiao 8 was Qian Yushui's slight breathing.

The next day

Qian Yuting knocked on Qian Yushui's door and the door opened from the inside.

Qian Yushui has a messy hair and a sleepy face.

"Brother, what are you doing so early?"

"Gather at the stone steps."

Qian Yuting raised his hand and gently pressed Qian Yushui's chicken coop, with a doting smile in his eyes.

"Okay, brother, you go out now, I'll clean up first."

"it is good"

Qian Yushui returned to the room, fetched water from a small tank to wash, combed her hair, tidied her clothes, and walked out with her bag.

He looked at the other people in the yard and nodded slightly.

He said hello, walked behind Qian Yuting, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Okay, let's go gather."

Shui Lingling led everyone out.

When we reached the stone steps, there were at least five hundred people waiting.

[Have you heard? This time, a total of 963 disciples were identified, 500 more than ten years ago.]

[Will I be eliminated? I’m so nervous!]

[I heard that there are more single and double spiritual roots this time than in the past]

[I guess I can only stay in the outer sect with my four spiritual roots]

[Don't worry. I heard that the outer sect will select disciples every three years, and the inner sect will select disciples every five years. There is a chance to change from a menial disciple to an outer sect disciple, and from an outer sect disciple to an inner sect disciple.]

〔Really?〕

[Of course it’s true]

After hearing the news, some people's eyes were full of hope, while some people felt nothing.

[Is it so easy to surpass someone’s talent? Unless you have a special physique or an opportunity, the gap in spiritual roots is huge and you can’t even try.]

Xiao 8 was completely disdainful of this statement.

Ten disciples dressed in the Hualing Sect's robes flew down on their swords and arrived at the square in a moment. Although the leader scolded in a light voice, his voice reached everyone's ears.

"No noise!"

"Please gather at the stone steps, brothers and sisters. Testing your spiritual roots is only the first test. Now we will proceed to the second test."

"There are a total of one thousand steps. If you take the hundredth step, you can enter the Hualing Sect."

"You can enter the outer gate by walking up three hundred steps."

"If you have reached the 600th step and have single or double spiritual roots, you can enter the inner gate."

"Stepping into the 900th step, you can be personally taught."

"Brother, if five spiritual roots can reach the 600th step, can they become inner disciples? If five spiritual roots can reach the 900th step, can they become personal disciples?"

"So far, no one with five spiritual roots has ever stepped into the six hundred level."

"The highest record is 299, not even 300"

"Okay, go ahead, the You hour is over." The leader said no more.
